Leslie Hong, M.Ed., LPCC, LADC

LHC Founder and President

I invite you to consider taking some time for you. I will honor our work together, addressing whatever keeps you from living at your best. You need not worry that your concerns are too small for therapy. And I will warmly accept you even when your concerns seem too big or too shameful to share.

You and I will collaborate to renew your sense of wellness and increase your life satisfaction. CBT, DBT, and ACT principles, Solution-Focused Counseling, somatic therapy perspectives, and existential and spiritual lenses are just a few of the approaches with which we can work to access your own strengths. ​

For more than a decade, I have worked with clients navigating clinical symptoms during normal life transitions, and treated severe anxiety and depression in others. I have experience counseling people with trauma, difficult families and relationships, and struggles with low self-worth.

When trusted with the opportunity, I value working with persons of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and anyone who may identify as being other-ed.

​Counseling for Alcohol + Substance Use

I work with people on quitting drinking and drinking responsibly, giving up tobacco, and changing other problem substance use. Not everyone needs the traditional weeks in "Treatment" or "Rehab." Each person has a unique story and set of values, and you deserve an individualized approach. I will listen to what you think is the problem, and you and I will work together for a solution that meets your personal goals.
